WARNING

! Use speakers over 50 W (output value) and

between 4 W to 8 W (impedance value). Do

not use 1 W to 3 W speakers for this unit.

! The black cable is ground. When installing

this unit or power amp (sold separately),

make sure to connect the ground wire first.

Ensure that the ground wire is properly con-

nected to metal parts of the car’s body. The

ground wire of the power amp and the one of

this unit or any other device must be con-

nected to the car separately with different

screws. If the screw for the ground wire loos-

ens or falls out, it could result in fire, genera-

tion of smoke or malfunction.

! Use this unit with a 12-volt battery and nega-

tive grounding only. Failure to do so may re-

sult in a fire or malfunction.

! To prevent a short-circuit, overheating or mal-

function, be sure to follow the directions

below.

— Disconnect the negative terminal of the bat-

tery before installation.

— Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhe-

sive tape. Wrap adhesive tape around wiring

that comes into contact with metal parts to

protect the wiring.

— Place all cables away from moving parts,

such as the shift lever and seat rails.

— Place all cables away from hot places, such

as near the heater outlet.

— Do not connect the yellow cable to the battery

by passing it through the hole to the engine

compartment.

— Cover any disconnected cable connectors

with insulating tape.

— Do not shorten any cables.

— Never cut the insulation of the power cable of

this unit in order to share the power with

other devices. The current capacity of the

cable is limited.

— Use a fuse of the rating prescribed.

— Never wire the negative speaker cable directly

to ground.

— Never band together negative cables of multi-

ple speakers.

! When this unit is on, control signals are sent

through the blue/white cable. Connect this

cable to the system remote control of an ex-

ternal power amp or the vehicle’s auto-anten-

na relay control terminal (max. 300 mA

12 V DC). If the vehicle is equipped with a

glass antenna, connect it to the antenna

booster power supply terminal.

! Never connect the blue/white cable to the

power terminal of an external power amp.

Also, never connect it to the power terminal

of the auto antenna. Doing so may result in

battery drain or a malfunction.
